It's the Good Life - San Diego, CA

What a lovely home. My family and I stayed at this home for an extended weekend this May and being San Diego natives, we were quite impressed with this house. The house is extremely well stocked, decorated beautifully, with more than the average rental. We made big dinners every night and the house has every size pan you could ever need, including casserole dishes, bowels, pans, etc, and all the appliances were very nice. There was not a coffee pot, only a Keurig, so we actually bought a small coffee pot at Target to use for the weekend. There was ample space for everyone throughout the house, including the casita in the back. The back yard is well manicured and the flow of the house is very conducive to family time. There’s a wood burning fire place in the back, as well as a pizza oven and full outdoor kitchen. The location is absolutely wonderful, only a few blocks to the cliffs and a little over a mile to the actual sand beach. Although, there are a few local known beaches beneath the cliffs if you don’t mind a little effort. There are two very close liquor stores, within a couple blocks, and the neighborhood is very quiet. Vacasa was responsive to any questions, so that was appreciated however we wish more care was taken to accommodate a two hour earlier check-in. We had a small baby who hadn’t napped during our long day of travel and although we had arrived to the house two hours early, we were not allowed an early check in. We received general responses from Vacasa that if an earlier check in was available, we would be notified. This, we had to sit outside the house until 4pm but no one was there cleaning it or doing any work so we were disappointed with their management of our request. Not knowing the status of the house and continuing to give auto-responses seems like a lazy way of doing business. The only MAJOR issue we had was that there are actually other people LIVING at the house in the room/unit above the casita. We were quite surprised to have two women walking around in the drive way and with clear view of the backyard. It was never once mentioned in the description and no one bothered to inform us at any point. This was extremely disappointing and dampened how “at home” we could be knowing strangers had a clear view of the backyard and into the living room. We found that to be a very big lapse in communication and something that should have been fully conveyed to potential renters.

The house was updated and contained every essential you could possibly need. Most beautiful house I ever stayed at from house to yard. I was so comfortable and relaxed . Every day I noticed something else about the house so unique . My family enjoyed their stay and were so happy I found a beautiful home in a lovely settings . Every nigh we could we walked down to the cliffs for a beautiful sunset.
